Hello,
I do not know which treatment has been started to you. My suggestion is Ceftriaxone 250 mg intramuscular (IM) single dose, and Azithromycin 1 g oral single dose, this is first line regimen.
Also, the male partner should be scrutinized and investigated for gonococcal infection and treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
